Safety Tips
Our customer service
department
has its own service
engineers and, if required, maintenance and advice is
available.
♦
The Beta Pocket Press
meets the European Legislation
standard. Under normal conditions accidents are rare.
However listed below are some practical points to ensure
your safety.
•
Always switch off
the current (and pull plug out of
the socket) when undertaking maintenance work or
when cleaning the machine.
•
Keep other people
away from the machine during
use.
•
Ensure that there is
sufficient space around the
machine. Cables and connections must not get
jammed. Although the heat radiation of the press is
low, there should be enough space for cooling
down.
•
Avoid contact
with the press element.
♦
DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE BOARD OR
CONTROLLER UNLESS QUALIFIED TO DO SO
-
touching internal parts is dangerous and may cause shock
hazard. All electrical connections inside covers are live.
Never operate Press with any covers and/or guards removed.
♦
PROTECT THE MAINS CABLE
- damage to the mains
cable may cause fire or shock hazard. When unplugging,
hold by the plug only and remove carefully. Take care that
the mains cable does not come into contact with the heat
plate (or moving parts of the mechanism) during operation of
the machine.
